Greta Paa-Kerner is the newly appointed Executive Director at the University of California Trust. In this role she oversees the footprint of the ten University of California campuses in the UK and Europe.
Prior to joining the Trust, she was the Head of Employer Partnerships at the University of East London where she oversaw the university’s business incubation workspaces and apprenticeship programmes across multiple campuses. Paa-Kerner also represented the university on several regional boards dedicated to business innovation, job skills and cultural heritage.
Before launching her career in higher education, she worked in several marketing and management roles in London, Barcelona, and San Diego. She was also a private banker at Barclays Wealth.
